Terms of business

Please note the following terms of business before buying, thank you for your understanding,

 

-       All seeds are fresh and from trusted sources to ensure good germination rates. Small batch tests have been done on each seed type to ensure they are viable before listing for sale.

-       Understandably I cannot guarantee the germination rate of any particular seed type as success depends on your seed raising method being sound, & I have no control over this. Standard methods for germinating cacti seeds (of which there are many!) should get these to grow, if you need any advice about how to germinate these seeds please get in touch.

-       I am therefore unable to offer a refund if your seeds do not germinate, growing cacti from seed is not guaranteed, please do not buy the seeds I sell if you are not willing to accept this. Please understand that some of the rarer and more desirable species are more sought after exactly because they are harder to grow and seed germination rate is lower.

-       Some species may take many weeks before germination occurs, therefore give them time & don’t throw them away if seedlings don’t pop up straight away!

-       As guidance, I grow my seeds under LED lights in grow tents with a temperature range of 20-30 degrees.

-       Seeds are sent in a sealed envelope & wrapped with bubble wrap to avoid damage during transit.

-       I use Royal Mail 2^nd class post for seeds, and I only post to the UK, I am unable to provide a phytosanitary certificate to post outside of the UK.

-       Please pay within 3 days of purchase. If there is a problem with this contact me to explain, I’m usually understanding and happy to sort out something for you. Sadly however, non-paying buyers that do not communicate will have purchases cancelled through eBays ‘unpaid item policy’ which has repercussions for your buying account. I also block non-paying buyers from bidding on any future auctions/listings.

-       If you have any questions, special requests, or problems with seeds you have received please contact me. I will reply to your message as soon as I can.

Raising cacti from seed is an interesting way to develop your collection, and is much more cost effective than buying expensive seedlings. It is also a great way to develop plants to use as grafting stock, & for most types of cacti is a fairly easy process that doesn’t require expensive equipment. Since the UK left the EU it has become harder to source seed of many species from abroad, I have therefore tried to source a selection of seed from rarer and more desirable species – for some of the species for sale I am not aware of another source of seed in the UK!

For sale x20 seeds of Notocactus Sucineus v.Albispina. This easy to grow cactus is thought to be a nursery cultivar. It is an attractive globular plant that is brilliant white in colour with very defined and attractive areoles. Flowers are yellow in colour. Please see photo that demonstrates the appearance/flower of this species. These are fresh seeds taken from plants in my own personal collection. There will be at least the number of seeds in the pack specified, usually a few more. I don't isolate any of my cacti flowers in my greenhouse, so all seeds are open pollination, however many of the species I grow seem self-fertile.

Happy growing!!
